    My sister and her husband took 20% pay cuts each, my other sister and husband own their own business. They make car parts for classic cars, they are about 200 orders behind with so many orders from people during this "shut down"

    Hey garbage collection is up if this keeps up adding new cells at a faster pace. Most landfills try to do new construction every 2-5 years this could take a year off those schedules.

    They probably could have gotten away with staying open. Just claim "auto supplier".

    As for UV light, that has been proven to work on some bacteria and virus's, no test's have been done on the Wuhan virus yet ... Hospital use UV light now in some situations, it is not used directly on humans ... sunlight does kill some bacteria/virus's also ... the assinine comments made by the Fake news media, libs and anti-Trumpers show their true stupidity and ignorance ...

    Guy in front of me at the store today with no mask on (I don't wear a mask or anything), sneezes directly into his hand before typing his pin in the credit card reader.

    I feel sorry for anyone that feels the need to defend such stupidity. What ever happened to being able to say, hey I like XYZ, but what he said was stupid?






    "Question that probably some of you are thinking of if you're totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light. And I think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it," Trump said, looking over to Bryan.

    And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're gonna test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?"
    And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets on the lungs and it does a tremendous number, so it will be interesting to check that. So that you're going to have to use medical doctors. But it sounds, it sounds interesting to me. So we'll see.
    But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute, that's, that's pretty powerful."

    After Trump's initial comments, in which he did suggest there might be a way to "do something like that by injection inside or, or almost a cleaning" after changing the topic from light to disinfectants but made clear it was not a definitive recommendation and said "medical doctors" should be involved in any tests, a reporter asked Bryan to clarify what the president said.
    The president mentioned the idea of a cleaner. Is the bleach and isopropyl alcohol he mentioned, there's no scenario that could be injected into a person, is there?" the reporter asked.
    No, I'm here to talk about the findings that we had in the study. We don't do that within that lab, at our labs," Bryan responded.
    We're talking about almost a latent sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't work, but it certainly has a big effect if it's on a stationary object," Trump said, not explicitly disavowing the possibility using disinfectants to treat humans, which has been roundly declared dangerous by medical experts and makers of such products.

    In other words UV light and disenfectants kill's 'Germs' ... it is easy to see and comprehend to those with a brain Trump was talking about the VIRUS getting into the lungs, not the disenfectant ....

    A type of ultraviolet light called ultraviolet light C or UVC is helping hospitals cut transmission of super bugs like MRSA that linger in patient rooms and cause new infections, according to a study by Duke Health researchers. As a result, several UVC machines are now in use at Duke University Hospital, Duke Regional Hospital and Duke Raleigh Hospital (Duke University)..

    I think what Issac Asimov said is Appropriate here.

    “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

    I carry a pencil which I pitch after I use it and always have. Because of phones now have infrared Red apps/device that can see what numbers you punched in. It's what scammers are doing.

    Ok guys, from day 1 in 2016 Trump says stupid Sheet. I will not defend it. It's one of his many flaws. But please remember over 8 years of Barry. He almost never just talked. It was scripted and off the teleprompter. And only softball questions were allowed and Damnsure Fox weren't allowed to ask anything even when he did hold meetings. Trump ( to much chagrin) holds meeting multiple times a day and takes all questions. Yes he is sick of certain "reporters". He is the most transparent and well vetted president in history. Like him or not. It's been 4 years of doing anything to kill him and his legacy. It all failed. So how about we work together and quit over analyzing ever syllabi and be happy he have someone in office that hasn't played the race, or victim card and gets stuff done. Right or wrong after Barry apologizing to other countries for us and his man wife saying (only due his husband) I'm finally proud of America" we needed a strong hand at the wheel.
    Given it would have been nice to get one that didn't have to fight both sides of the isle and every other country at once but I'll take him over a Clinton, Bush, Obama any day.

    Come on man, you cannot refute what was said.

    Trust me, I audibly winced when he said it. I'm sure Dr. Birx and everyone else visibly twitched with their inner thought.

    Whether he meant some form of intravenous remedy that could act like that or some sort of vapor therapy is irrelevant. He said what he said.

    If you want to defend it, do it with what else he said.

    "I'm not a doctor, I don't know. I'm just saying, it's worth a look. I'm not a doctor"

    Not a direct quote, but something to that effect.

    Trump needs to stop answering and speaking to medical treatment(s). Step back and let one of the Dr.'s answer or if it's a lead on question that has been answered previously but the media is trying to spin it, just say that has been answered already, next question.

    All of todays task force Q&A will be focused on what he said yesterday.

    The president would be well served to: Stick to his script;
    Defer to his experts;
    Lose his phone (stop tweeting)
